Mad cold

When I was seeing films taken in hilly area with a lot of snow around back in India I was wondering how great it would be to have my lifetime spent entirely in such a location. I repent for what I felt. It just looks great. Feels good for few days, may be few weeks. Nothing more than 5 weeks. I really had to pen down my first snow experience. Since I am gonna (tho paarra, American stylu) talk bad and good about cold weather, I know I will get hit from my friends who are (un)lucky enough to experience it. First bad thing is your nose will start bleeding if you are prone to some sort of allergy. I am not sure on what allergy it is. Not everyone bleeds, but if you bleed it makes you scared a lot (Manmathan padathula Chimbu mookula ratham vanthaa maari irukkum). I had that bad experience. Second bad thing is you cant go out of home just like that even for taking paper or cross the road to go to other building. You will have to cover yourself up with a coat, ensure shoes are proper and you ...

Where was I so long? Why no blog?

I have been asked several questions like "What happened to you?", "Are you too busy to blog?" from my usual set of friends (to be frank just 3 of them). I just had one truth to tell them "I have plenty of things to share and if I start sharing everything, my time would be lost in blogging fully". Thats true. Its long since I wrote a blog and here I am trying to re-vamp with the upgraded Google blogging. I was out of blogging for some time now that I didnt realize that there are quite a few upgrades. Any ways. From my side the most memorable thing that has happened is my trip to west coast of USA with my 2 Ambattur cricket gang folks. It was a really pleasant 4 day trip, a little tiring but not so much as meeting them made it easier. A lot was discussed as we met almost after 3 years. Past, present and future, some advices, some experiences, sorrow and joy. Anyone of you who had experienced a meeting with your friend after a big break can understand this. W...

iPods and the options

I had to type and email detailing whatever i knew on iPods. I had various instances in my life now where my friends ask the same question and I land up typing everytime. I thought I better blog about it and save it for ever. I will try to give as much options/information I know for now in order to make up your mind on what you want. iPods get categorized as video and non-video ones. So decide on whats needed. When going for audio, decide how many songs you will listen (on an average) and decide on the size needed. If the plan is to buy a small memory iPod, he/she should be patient enough to change songs from computer to iPod for change in interest to listen to a set of songs. There is no choice of ‘small size’ if video option is chosen. The least is 30 GB and it also comes as 60 and 80 GB versions. For audio, there are whole lot of varieties like 512 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB. Some of them are called old generation iPods (using buttons) and some are new generation (rolling type). More fa...
